“Original bibliographic identification”

Annali Italiani di Chirurgia is the oldest national surgery journal in Italy. To put it in a historical perspective, it was founded in 1922, the same year as the March on Rome, and thus at the time when a nationalistic movement took hold of unified postwar Italy. The journal was founded by Professor Giovanni Pascale, who was a surgeon at the Federico II University in Naples, a senator of the kingdom of Italy, and the founder of the Tumor Institute in Naples, and by Licino Cappelli, who was the director of the prestigious Licini Cappelli Editore publishing house in Bologna. Annali Italiani di Chirurgia was always listed in international guides to articles, first in the Index Medicus, and then in MEDLARS, the computerized index system of the US National Library of Medicine.
Editor-in-chief: Professor Raffaele Paolucci succeded Giovanni Pascale as editor-in-chief of Annali Italiani di Chirurgia. He too was a surgeon, from Bari,who moved to Bologna and then Rome. He received a gold medal for his actions during World War I, and became senator of the Kingdom of Italy. Professor Giovanni Marcozzi, a surgeon at the La Sapienza University in Rome, took over after Raffaele Paolucci and was editor-in-chief until 1987. Since 1987, professor Nicola Picardi, chief attending physician in the general surgery department at the Gabriele D’Annunzio University in Chieti has been editor-in-chief.
Publishers: The Licino Cappelli publishing house, together with the typographic design firm Babina in S.Lazzaro di Savena, was, until recently, responsible for publishing the journal. After making the move to phototypesetting, the publishers came to use digital typesetting. In 1987 the Gruppo Editoriale Milano (G.E.M.) s.r.l.bought the Cappelli publishing house, but did not change its basic organization, and set up the New Capelli Publishing House which is still run by Comm. Emilio Cappelli, the last representative of the prestigious publishers, who was active until 2005. Starting with the second issue in 2005, Annali Italiani di Chirurgia has been published by the Luigi Pozzi publishing company in Rome, and the typography firm involved has been Leonalli Printing s.r.l. in Castenaso (Bologna).
